Behind the Wall of Sleep
Dreams Woven in Melody: Unveiling the Mysterious Allure
Lyrics
She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
Describing the woman's hair reminiscent of Jean Shrimpton in 1965.
She had legs that never ended
Highlighting the woman's endlessly attractive legs.
I was halfway paralyzed
Expressing a sense of being partially immobilized or overwhelmed by her presence.
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
Describing the woman as tall, cool, and stylish in black attire.
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul
Expressing a willingness to do anything for her, even extreme actions.
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Reflecting on thoughts of the woman in bed.
Sometimes I even weep
Admitting to emotional vulnerability, including occasional weeping.
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Dreaming about the woman behind the "wall of sleep," suggesting a barrier between them.
Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
Describing the woman as a bass guitar player with a Bill Wyman-like stance.
And she stood just like Bill Wyman
Expressing admiration for her musical abilities and stage presence.
Now I am her biggest fan
Declaring oneself as the woman's biggest fan.
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
Acknowledging the competition for her friendship and expressing a desire to stand out.
And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them
Stating the need to convey that the speaker is different from others pursuing her.
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Continuing to contemplate the woman in bed.
Sometimes I even weep
Reiterating emotional vulnerability and occasional weeping.
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Repeating the theme of dreaming about the woman behind the "wall of sleep."
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Continuing the reflection on thoughts of the woman in bed.
Sometimes I even weep
Reiterating emotional vulnerability and occasional weeping.
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Repeating the theme of dreaming about the woman behind the "wall of sleep."
Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town
Obtaining the woman's contact information from a friend.
Called you up to have a drink
Attempting to connect with her by inviting her for a drink.
Your roommate said you weren't around
Finding out she's not available through her roommate.
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
Reiterating the competition for her friendship and expressing a desire to stand out.
And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them
Stating the need to convey that the speaker is different from others pursuing her.
Now I lie in bed and think of her
Continuing to contemplate the woman in bed.
Sometimes I even weep
Reiterating emotional vulnerability and occasional weeping.
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Repeating the theme of dreaming about the woman behind the "wall of sleep."
Behind the wall of sleep
Repeating the phrase "Behind the wall of sleep."
Behind the wall of sleep
-Behind the wall of sleep
